Tabs for January 5th 2024
- Red Means Recording vlog + OP-1 video. I just love this format.
- Guitar soloing cheat sheet
- When can I reuse this calendar?. Cut down on waste by reusing old calendars!
- Thoughts are with those in Japan this week
- Wordle editor interview
- Computing has blood on it's hands. Salient post as we enter the new year.
- Amazon's silent sacking for the sake of the stock
- Is AI committing copyright infringement?
- BBS: The doc
- Wordpress installer attack. I have WP-related PTSD so this is a new one. Last year I had to cone through every single line of code on a Wordpress site to haul out malicious code that was infecting a popular site.
- Ethernet-over-HTTPS protocol
- The sad bastard cookbook
- Former US diplomat caught spying for Cuba
- Common charging solution in EU
- Helix text editor
- AI influencers are stealing influencers' influence
- Mozilla 2023 review. TLDR is that it's going fairly well, but there's a lot of money going into the CEO's pocket.
- Japanese papermaking
- FujiX Weekly. Seems to be less 'weekly' but these recipes for old film effects on modern cameras is great.
- Where cybersecurity gave us hope in 2023
- A deeper look at Y2K
- Irish tech companies to watch in 2024
- Channel tunnel operator suggests more services. Imagine if Ireland and the UK collaborated to link high speed (proper Shinkansen stuff) rail across Ireland and the UK into Europe. It'd change northern Europe.
- Elon trending in Japan after misinformation on shitbirdsite
- 17 ways the world got better in 2023
- List of predictions made 100 years ago about 2024
- NASA Juno spacecraft shares amazing images of Jupiter's moon
- The internet is about to get weird again
- 3 dead in 3 days on Irish roads. On track for another slide in the wrong direction. As a pedestrian, cyclist and driver I can assure you, people driving vehicles are inattentive, speeding and brazen with rules (traffic lights, etc.). We've become much more American in our approach to cars, and this is bad.
- DJ Shadow on ditching MPC. Kind-of mad that his debut album was done on an MPC that featured 1mb of memory!
- Why Substack is at a crossroads. Is it at a crossroads because of a largely liberal, young(ish) and modern audience has been told they have to share their space with nazis by a CEO?
- Microsoft adds a copilot AI button to their keyboards. First change in 30 years. And it's absolutely ridiculous. No one asked a product manager for this.
- RIP Niklaus Wirth
- A building you can cycle in
- Apple poster
- Finland's economy is weirdly sluggish
- Railway hackers exposed right-to-repair nightmare
- Stop the cringe!. Hear hear!
- Fight Club & the Matrix. Both feature characters losing sleep because they're seeking something out. They don't know what, but they are. This, right now, resonates with me. I'm somewhat restless and figuring something out, so losing sleep. But I don't know what I'm looking for, or why.
